Task modelling for collaborative systems
Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Task models and diagrams for user interface design, page 287--292. Berlin/Heidelberg, Springer-Verlag, (2007)Abstract
The development of Collaborative Systems implies taking into account not only a greater number of users but also the interactions among them to accomplish complex tasks. Besides, the nature of these tasks is different from traditional tasks considered in mono-user systems. Theses differences justify the need to tackle the task modelling for collaborative systems in a different way than traditionally, considering the special features that this kind of systems have. In this paper we propose a conceptual model to describe tasks and group tasks for multi-user systems in order to make a precise characterization. This characterization is applied to a simple example to show its applicability.
